About

Pillgwenlly, commonly called Pill, is a riverside ward on the west bank of the River Usk in central Newport. Its history is tied to the docks and heavy industry, with a street grid reflecting its 19th-century development.

The area contains a mix of residential housing, light industrial units, and retail parks. The Newport Transporter Bridge, a working Edwardian ferry, crosses the river from its base here. Large modern developments, including the Newport International Sports Village, are located on previously industrial land near the riverfront.
